That moment when Red State Trump voters read about the guy they elected for the first time.

It’s not just coastal Twitter elites obsessed with FIRE AND FURY: Totally sold out in Missoula, Montana. Bookstore owner told me even Costco sold out immediately.

in these deep red areas. I know there are a bunch of DUers who live in such situations.

And looking further, the tweet being retweeted by Hoarse had this follow-up tweet-

To be clear: I know Missoula is a liberal town. I live here dudes. I wasn’t saying that Conservatives were reading, but that interest in the book has broken out past media/politico circles on Twitter (which isn’t necessarily true of some of the other shit we obsess about on here)

The county that it is in has been to a degree, but not the city itself.

I still believe that there are many Democrats in these red areas who have had to suffer but try to keep going....

Heck, as was reported here in Philly yesterday when reporters were at the bookstores that were sold out and talking to those who managed to get a copy - one guy was asked by a reporter "Who is reading this?" - the guy replied "The 70%!" (where the 30% are Drumpf-humpers)!
